Ex.secretary Lincoln breads the White House

Ex.secretary Lincoln breads the White House.
When he was in Washington few days
ago Frank Hatton related some facts in
regard to ex-Secretary Lincoln's aversion
to the idea OF being a candidate for the
presidency. He says:
No one con doubt the absolute sincerity
OF the ex-secretary in protesting against
any movement being made in his behalf.
He implores his friends il they have any re-
gard for him not to think OF or mention.
the matter. He has no desire to enter
the White House again in any capacity.
Indeed he seems to have horror of
the place. His presence there after the as.
sassination OF his father and again after
the shooting OF President Garfield has
caused him to associate thoughts OF vio-
lence and death with the presidential Office
OF which he cannot rid himself. It is be-.
lieved that he has a superstitious feeling
that il he were elected president he would
himself be in danger of assass nation. To
q we'll known army officer, not long ago,
who inquired of him about his presidential
chances. Mr.. Lincoln replied: "If youever
hear OF my wanting the off % or being a
candidate for it, you may declare that !
am an idiot and will confess it,"

A New Measuring Instrument.

Professor Cerobitani, Of Verona, is credited
with having contrived an ingenious instru-
ment for ascertaining the distances Of acces-
sible and inaccessible points from the observer
and from each other-;n q word, an easy
method of range finding. The apparatus con-
sists mainly of pair of telescopes mounted
on a stand and fixed on a tripod for use. The
telescopes are both brought to- bear on the
object, and a reading is then taken on grad
uated scale on the instrument, which, com
pared with a set Of printed tables, gives the
distance. Distances can be measured between
far off objects, and, by means Of sheet Of
paper fixed on drawing board, arough plan
Of the country under measurement can be
made. In the same way the distances of ships
at sea or of moving objects on land may be
determined. Thus, the contrivance appears
to be well adapted, not only for land survey
ing, but particularly so for military purposes
It is stated to have been already adopted in
this latter connection by the German govern
ment E..... fr'e

Dol, or sisiutl as it is termed It shows a
double headed snake with known face in
the center. 1t is known to the Selfish tribes
Of the Gulf of Georgia, and to the numerous
tribes Of Kwakluti lineage. It is the crest of
one of the gentes Of the Kwakiuti, who paint
it on their house fronts. The beam which
supports the heavy rafters of their houses is
carved so as to represent the "Sisiutl," as it
is called by the Kwakiuti, and the drums,
chairs and dancing implements of the gems
have it for their ornament. A beam Of this
Kind is in the museum at Ottawa, Ont.
The traditions referring to the Sisiutl are
very numerous One Of the most remarka-
BILE is that of Qaniqilaq, the son of God, de-
scended from heaven and met the Sisiutl.
He killed it, skinned it, and took out its
eyes. The latter he used as stones for his
sling, the former as a belt, and both served
him to accomplish many exploits

Yankee Books Reprinted in Japan.

An illustration of the cleverness and
initiative powers Of the japanese, which
might also serve to point an argument in
the discussion Of the international copy
right question, is afforded by certain
Japanese publications which have been
exhibited to the prominent officers of the
state department. 1t appears that when
the study Of English was made compul-
sorry in Japan number Of American
school books were imported and by formal
order made the text books Of the native
schools. American book makers had
quite lucrative trade for time. But
the japanese soon turned their attention
to the subject. and after few expert
ments began turning out clever reprints
Of the American publications, of sush OK
cellence and in such quantities that the
demand for the American product has
now practically ceased. The only inferi-
GRITTY of the japanese books noticeable at
a casual examination is in the illustra-
lions, and this is accounted for by the
fact that the native engravers have not
yet discovered the art of cutting their
pictures on the grain end of the block,
but uniformly engrave on the side, which
results in a slightly blurred picture

Railways in China.

At last the Chinese are undertaking the
construction of railways. But it does not
appear that foreign syndicates are to profit
by the changed attitude of the govern
ment. In May last there was issued de-
cree sanctioning the building Of railroads
north of the Pei-Ho river in the province
which contains the great city Of Pekin.
A company composed Of Chinese officials
was formed, and native capitalists were
urged to take stock. These capitalists,
however, were unwilling to invest.
Thereupon the viceroy Of the province
issued proclamation, in which the ad-
vantages to be derived from railway COM
munication were set forth, and the rich
were advised that by delay. they might
close their opportunity" Investors still
declined to support the work, and it Is
that French bankers have loaned
the government $4,000, 900 to be used in
building the road, which is to extend
from the mouth Of the Pei-Ho to the in
terror by way of Tien-Tsin. While IL is

The Raising of Polecats.

A novel business is that which some
men have gone into up in Crawford coun-
ty, Pa.-the raising of polecats. They
have started two ranches for the purpose,
ore at Little's Corners and another at
Miller's Corners. The object is to secure
the fur of the cats. 1t is not generally
known that this fur forms the trimming
of costly cloaks for women. It is obtained
now from the animals caught in their
wild state, but finer and better can be
obtained by shutting the animals up and
improving them by care. They are ex-
tremely prolific, and as the pelta are
worth 81 apiece as they come from the
animals, it is believed that the business
can be made to pay well. Pittsburg

The main building is 20x40 feet, with a
shed fifteen feet wide on one side and one
end, making the entire building 35x5o
feet, and is built as follows: Get out eight
large white oak posts, fifteen feet long,
and set them in the ground three feet, one
at each corner and two between on the
sides of main building. These must be
square ON top and all on level; on the
side posts place hewn plates Axe inches,
and then four pieces crossed from each post
to one on the opposite side; then put in
smaller posts, fifteen feet from side to end
posts, for the shed; they should be seven feet
above the ground. BY putting posts
where marked in the plan, 2x6 inch
pieces will do for plates. Now put up
your rafters on main building, and then
spike the end of shed rafters to them; it
can be inclosed by spiking 2x4 or 2x6
pieces on the posts to nail the siding to;
the inside can be arranged to suit ones
convenience.
In the barn shown in the cut the main
part, 2Ox40 feet, is used for hay; the side
shed has a granary l5x25 feet, and six
stalls for horses or mules, three on each
side of six foot passage, the horses heads
being next to the passage. The managers
are made by setting posts in the ground
and mailing boards on the inside, and
make partitions between the stalls in the
same way. The shed at the end is for
five cows; there is a manger made the en-
tire length of the shed on posts set in the
ground, which come up high enough to
tie the cattle TO. There are no partitions
between the cattle, and there are no par
titions between main building and sheds,
except at the granary.

Fresh Water Pearls,

The cultivation Of fresh water mussels has
become an industry of considerable import
ance in Saxony and other parts of Germany.
The pearls are generally inferior to those Of
the genuine pearl oysters, but occasionally
gem of real excellence is produced. Some
very fine settings of seed were exhibited at
the exposition of Berlin. The Venetians car
ried on this branch of trade to considerable
extent during the Middle Ages, and controlled
it until 1921, when the elector of Saxony also
undertook it, at the suggestion of Moritz
Schmirler, draper Of Oelsnitz, and appointed
Schmirler "first pearl fisher" On his death
he was succeeded by his son, and the business
has continued in the family until the present
day, under the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the forestry
department, in whose care are the waters OF
the region.
The Old Theory in Regard 10 Fire.
The old theory in regard to fire, according
to Building, is becoming obsolete. The idea
was formerly that the fire should be confined
and smothered if possible, for lack of air, but
the modern idea is to give vent to the build
ing that the flames and smoke and heat may
escape, in order that the firemsn may gain
access to the building and concentrate their
efforts to the extinguishing of the fire. In a
building filed with flames and smoke it is
almost impossible to locate the fire, and the
firemen are at a loss how to direct their
efforts for lis extinguishment A building
once cleared of the smother, and it is not dlfh-
cult to reach the fire. That this plan is sue
cessful is demonstrated by the fact that in our
large cities the loss by each fire is very much
less than formerly.

Butter from Sweden.
That the Swedish dairy farmers are
going to send butter to Manchester in the
confident expectation of deriving a fair
profit is a startling piece of intelligence.
Some parts Of Sweden are a fortnight's
journey from England, as freight trav-
els; and it has been conclusively proved
that Swedish butter will remain good for
a longer period than that. The Scandi-
navian farmers have an agent at Man.
chester who will report as to how far the
color, flavor, shape and degree Of salt
ness of their butter suits the Lancashire
market, and if in any Of these particu-
lars it does not hit the taste of the con-
sumers, these enterprising producers
will set to work to alter it. These
Swcdes really deserve to succeed, and if
they make good their experiment at
Manchester they will do it simply by
suiting the needs of their market-a
thing which most English producers will
not deign to do. So far as manufactures
are concerned, our great fault has been
in believing that because our goods were
English they must necessarily please
foreign tastes. But this is by no means
the case.-London Paper.
